I LOVE the big main meal on Christmas day. But it’s always so large that we don’t eat much else for days afterwards. After the heavy feasting and celebrating on Christmas, I like to keep things a bit lighter when New Year’s Eve rolls around. That’s why for the last few years, New Year’s Eve has been a time to relax at home and enjoy an assortment of homemade appetizers.
And one of my all-time favourite appetizer recipes is stuffed mushrooms! They take just minutes to prepare but are always a hit. And as a seafood fan, my Parmesan Crab Stuffed Mushrooms are always a top pick during New Year’s celebrations.
So recently I headed to my local Sobeys store to pick up the ingredients I would need to whip up a batch.
The nice thing about this recipe is that it requires just a few ingredients but tastes completely decadent. It’s rich, filling and so delicious. And for a different taste, shrimp makes a fabulous substitute for the crab as well!
It only takes three or four tasty appetizers to make a perfect New Year’s Eve meal that’s festive, casual and so delicious. And these stuffed mushrooms are one thing that’s always on a plate of appetizers in this house! Give them a try and enjoy a relaxing and delicious New Year’s Eve celebration!

I am not a big mushroom fan and everyone else is. There are a few things I love, with mushroom as the main ingredient and your recipe, leaves my mouth watering. I think I could put away a batch myself.
Nice recipe, looks delicious.
Appetizers are one of my favorite food groups and these sound absolutely delicious. I saved the recipe on my Kitchenbug account so I could make them later. We always have get togethers during the Olympic Mens Hockey when Canada is playing so I will make them then. Thanks for the recipe. :)
Not a big fan of crab….but maybe the parmesan would help ;)
